Coronavirus Vaccine Affects Erection - DKB

DKB has alleged that a police officer in Ghana lost his erection after he took the coronavirus vaccine on Saturday.

He made this statement on the back of reports that the coronavirus vaccine rollouts had been paused due to news of blood clot associated with the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines

“A police officer I know has lost his erection since he took it on Saturday,” he said.

This report, however unconfirmed, tallies with Celestine Donkor's report that her husband also experienced erection problems.

She however noted that the problems passed away with time. 

A statement was released on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, by the Food and Drugs Authority of Ghana which revealed that it is yet to encounter blood clots from the vaccines even though some countries have paused the vaccination process.

Fourteen European countries including 12 EU members have now suspended the use of AstraZeneca shots altogether while another five have black-listed specific batches and a handful of governments outside Europe have also pulled the emergency break.

These countries stated that the temporary hiatus was just for precautionary reasons.

The FDA maintained that the vaccines are safe for use and that since it started administering the drug some two weeks ago no adverse effects have been recorded in the country.

Furthermore, it said that was working with health experts globally to continue to support the vaccine programme and protect public health. The FDA assured the public to have confidence in the vaccine and continue taking it.
